Octave mandolin M&M model.

The M&M model represents the highest expression of our Irish bouzouki. Premium materials and top-level hardware are essential—but they are only part of the story. The true soul of this instrument lies within. At the heart of the M&M model is a refined custom bracing system, developed through years of experience, listening, and evolution. While every M&M follows the same core concept, each instrument is subtly adjusted to bring out its own unique voice.

Using a specialized tap-tuning technique on both the soundboard and the back, I carefully listen to how the wood responds. By adding or shaving small braces, I tune each plate to a specific resonance, allowing the natural character of the wood to guide the final result. The outcome is an instrument that is responsive, balanced, and alive.

To ensure uncompromising quality, many premium options are already included in the base price.
